In this episode of Hyphal Mind, Platy & Unassuming dive far deeper than just mushroom cultivation. We take it all the way back — from life after the military, to the first encounter with mushrooms, why they became such an important tool, and the benefits discovered through microdosing along the journey.

We talk about the early days of cultivation, from cutting open AIO bags and fruiting on perlite, to the evolution of liquid culture work, advanced growing methods, and the lessons learned through trial, failure, and obsession with the craft.

The conversation also explores the mindset behind the movement — hunting mutations, experimenting with different teks, building community, and what’s currently being worked on behind the scenes.

This wasn’t just a grow talk. It was a raw conversation about growth in every sense of the word — mental, personal, and mycological.
